Was anyone else bummed out by the closeness of Mars to earth on wednesday night (it was flipping me out a bit given the state of the world at the minute), closest it had been in thousands of years. Seemed significant to me somehow, though maybe that was just my headstate.

Blimey, that is a lot of Pandas. Pretty harmless bunch though, just 'really into' bamboo as I understand it. Still they could be trained, hmmm...

I bet there are some astrologer, conspiracy theorist types out there on the Eplaya, c'mon help us out here, Mars, Pandas (lots of 'em) is there a link? - we have to know. Are we all being controlled by the secret early christians? What is VALIS and are the pandas in on it?

i'm an aries, ruled by mars, and was so profoundly affected by the proximity and it's retrograde. mostly horny, to be honest. then again, i was camping with some major hotties this year, so there could be an alternative explanation.

I'm more intrigued by the geomorphology of mars than by any supposed 'influence' it has on the affairs of humans. I guess that comes about when you subscribe more to the astronomical aspects of the planet than to any astrological peculiarities.

Man that night was out of control, I wanted to experience the influence of MArs. I put on a bunch of warpaint and some evil costume. that was the night of our party in our theme camp. Drank a alot of whiskey and handfuls of mushrooms. After we passed out all the booze at our party I ran out into the playa, and FREAKED out an art car of people that ate some bad mushrooms they were pretty scared of me for some reason. Then I woke up at sunrise freezing my ass off, covered in dust, with blood on my hands, no idea what happened. Pretty sure it was my own blood though, so dont worry.
I stumbled into a bluehouse and there was these 2 jammin DJs and I danced untill 11:00 am. Out of control. moral of the story.. dont ask to harness the power of mars unless you want to experience the great annihilator.

I am interested in this retrograde thing, a friend of mine says Mars swooped past retrograde and picked up all the negativity that abounds on Earth at the moment and is gonna come round 'Direct' on the 20th and spit it all back at us tenfold.

Don't have any idea if this is tru of course, neither do I entirely understand it. Hope not though, things are bad enough.

Pandas fucking rule. Especially the virgos amongst 'em. they are the best - by far.

Ha, strictly for kicks here is a poem by Spike Milligan from 1968

The Gofongo, if you please,
is a fish with singing knees
And a tail that plays
The Spanish clarionet!

He has toes that whistle tunes
And explode! like toy balloons.
Hence his many,
Many visits to the vet.

The Gofongo, when he likes,
Swallows jam and rusty bikes,
Orange pips and treacle
Pudding boiled in glue.

He loves chips with rusty nails
And can swallow Iron Rails
That is why they cannot
Keep one in a zoo.

But! Gofongo as a pet
Would cause panic and regret.
People tried it and were
Nearly driven balmy.

For, once inside a house
He screams, 'I'm a Jewish mouse.'
Then he runs away -
And joins the Arab Army!

What utter nonsense hey? Genius. Anyway I digress - back to the question of Mars!!!

I'm an aries as well, but all the closeness of Mars did for me was cross my path with another hot aries chick whom I spent a nice evening having rather passionate meaningless sex with. So, um, thank you solar system.
